Message: [QUOTE="abashii, post: 3222437, member: 8686"] I don't keep my compendium of all bhqers statements about players handy so all I can go on is this thread. Looked to me like old mate was copping it for saying Dearden's been average so far which isn't anywhere near saying he's definitively bad. Milford's also been poor the last few years for various reasons but it's true to say he has demonstrated he can perform at a level that Dearden hasn't shown us yet. In the performative environment of an internet forum some might choose to interpret that as making excuses for one while deathriding the other, particularly if it gives them the chance to enjoy the sweet sweet sensation of laying the boot into another poster but that just seems silly. Likewise the level of hype where saying losing a 20-something gamer will be the death knell for the team is considered sage and balanced while saying they've been average so far and anyone can be replaced is ground for a dozen people to misquote, misinterpret and talk about how they want to punch on. Personally I'm hoping the combo of Dearden and Milford will prosper this year in a properly coached team that's not ravaged by injury but we'll see. It's certainly not worth getting worked up over.
